Please see here for a map of the arena, noting that the competition area is strictly only competitors and their coaches may be present on the field of play. Spectators must not enter the field of play at any time, and competitors may only be present for flights during which they are competing.

Abuse of these rules may result in removal or disqualification.

A warmup hall next the competition arena will be available for competitors to use to complete a floor warm up. It will be available to competitors during the flight immediately prior to their competition flight.

The warmup hall is not to be used to store luggage.

The following disciplines will form the BUCS Trampoline and DMT Championships:
• Individual Trampoline (TRA)
• Synchronised Trampoline (TRS)
• Double Mini-Trampoline (DMT)
• BUCS Knockout - a knockout competition involving the top 8 male and female competitors across the weekend going head-to-head until one champion is crowned.

BUCS Points will be awarded to the top four placings, for men and women, in the FIG level for indivdual trampoline (TRA), double-mini trampoline (DMT) and for level 1 of synchronised trampoline.

OVERALL TRAMPOLINE TEAM (MEN AND WOMEN)
Individuals across all TRA categories (including BUCS Disability) will automatically be entered into the team competitions, provided there are enough eligible individuals from that institution to comprise a team. For each of the Men’s and Women’s team events, the team placing shall be determined by the highest cumulative qualification round scores for three gymnasts from the same institution.

Please note that BUCS points will not be allocated where the minimum number of competitors has not been reached, and where there are not enough individual scores to extract a team score. Furthermore, an individual/team/pair must have beaten another individual/team/pair to score BUCS points.

For a full breakdown of BUCS points please see Appendix 1.

Lockers are located in the hallway on the same level as the competition floor and are available for use throughout the weekend. The lockers accept both old and new pound coins and trolley tokens.

Male, female, and gender-neutral changing facilities are available near the competition hall and will be clearly signposted.
